that day when his twins Jacques and Gabriella stole the show

This Tuesday, November 19, is an important day for Monegasques, who celebrate the national holiday on Le Rocher. In 2021, Prince Albert had the spotlight stolen by his twins Jacques and Gabriella. A look in the retro.

A sequence that the Monegasques have certainly not forgotten. This Tuesday, November 19, the inhabitants of the Rock will gather in large numbers near the princely palace, so as not to miss the traditional greetings of the princely family on the balcony. This year, Albert II of Monaco should be accompanied by his wife Charlene and their children, Princess Gabriella and Prince Jacques. But this was not always the case.

In 2021, Princess Charlene was conspicuous by her absence, during this annual meeting very dear to the hearts of Monegasques. Convalescing following a serious infection, Prince Albert's wife did not appear on the balcony of the princely palace, as usual. Thus, her husband had given the lie, by appearing with his twins. The latter, who had not come empty-handed, were quick to steal the show from the sovereign. On this special day, the two children of the princely couple had a moving thought for their sick mother. They presented themselves with several signs, on which were written: “ We miss you mom » or « We love you mom “. Images as strong as they are moving.

Albert of Monaco supported by his sisters Stéphanie and Caroline

If Princess Charlene was forced to miss this edition, Albert of Monaco was fortunately able to count on the presence of his family to support him and support him on this important day. Installed in the front row of the religious building, Grace Kelly's son was surrounded by his sisters, Princesses Stéphanie and Caroline, to whom he is very close. A few moments later, he posed with them, on the balcony of the princely palace. United in adversity.
